Baseball Hacks

[ckd]

For the baseball fans and/or math geeks and/or veejanes on my flist: Baseball Hacks. (Seen but not purchased; I was doing a quick pass through Quantum to see if the 3rd edition regexp book had shipped yet.)

Yes, O'Reilly has a book about baseball now.

Baseball Hacks isn't your typical baseball book--it's a book about how to watch, research, and understand baseball. It's an instruction manual for the free baseball databases. It's a cookbook for baseball research. Every part of this book is designed to teach baseball fans how to do something. In short, it's a how-to book--one that will increase your enjoyment and knowledge of the game.

I'm also looking at Retro Gaming Hacks, because my personal Golden Age of Videogaming (you know, 12) coincided with the Atari 2600's heyday.
